Host diversity slows bacteriophage adaptation by selecting generalists over specialists
Most viruses can infect multiple hosts, yet the selective mechanisms that maintain multi-host generalists over single-host specialists remain an open question. Here we propagate populations of the newly identified bacteriophage øJB01 in coculture with many host genotypes and find that while phage ca...
